This display is part of a collection of travelling exhibitions curated by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and loaned to Wheels O’ Time Museum by the Dunlap Public Library.
The exhibition documents and illustrates critical figures and events while tracing the evolving concept of freedom in the United States from the country’s founding through 1968.
Check the upcoming events section for additional and more detailed information. Events are updated regularly.
Fall Festival – Sunday Oct 9, 12-4pm
Dairy Queen Day – Oct 15, 12pm – 2:30pm
DQ Days are so popular at the museum that once again and for the last time this season, the Dairy Queen van will be stationed on our campus on Saturday, October 15, between noon and 2:30pm.
Come and get a free DQ dilly bar when you present your admission ticket or membership. While supplies last.
It’s a great chance to get a close up look at the DQ ’55 Chevy van, too!
Blacksmithing demonstrations – Oct 8 and Oct 22, 2022
Our resident blacksmith is at work every second and fourth Saturday of the month in the Farm Building from 12pm to 4pm.
Happy Hall O’ Wheels – Saturday, October 29, 2022, 6pm – 8pm
Attend at your own risk as you may never leave (or want to). Come to the museum to celebrate Halloween with us in a safe and fun environment. For children through 8th grade.
Museum Members: $3 per child (ages 2-13) and $2 per accompanying adult.
Non members: $5 per child (ages 2 – 13) and $2 per accompanying adult.
Babies under 2 are free.
Hall O’ Wheels includes a not too spooky scavenger hunt through the museum’s main building, manual activities and lots of treats.
It’s great fun to see the faces of visitors when our Barbershop Quartet of former presidents (life-size) begin singing or the miniature circus parade starts up, or the orchestrion begins filling the room with old fashioned music.
Children especially like to pull the ropes to make the whistles blow and push the button to watch the Lionel trains chug along.
